Val Knol, sales rep, and Louise Parker, franchisee of Exit Realty 1st Call, accept their award.

The Realtors at Exit Realty 1st Call in Elmsdale, N.S. were recently recognized when they won the Community Booster of the Year Award for East Hants.
The group’s fundraising efforts started seven years ago with the “Hey Hey Hey Help Fill the Sleigh” event, which featured an antique sleigh parked at the grocery store inviting shoppers to contribute groceries. Over several years, the Realtors’ involvement in the community included decorating trucks and going door to door to gather tons of food to stock the local food bank shelves and holding “rockathons” for ailing friends.
“We enjoy events like the ‘This Is How We Roll’ penny collecting for local schools sports teams, auctions and sponsoring local fundraisers like Communities in Bloom,” says Louise Parker, owner of Exit Realty 1st Call. The brokerage now has a second office in Truro, where sales reps also plan to get involved with charitable organizations.
